Suspension - Starion strut modification / coilover options
smokin'joe replied to tomble's topic in Tech Talk
depends what you hope to acheive as end goal have a yarn to the Mitsi rally lads. Malcom Lovatt in Ashburton, Bruce Herbert in Palmerston North, plenty others mucking with them. looks like they can have an insert fitted easy enough by removing the top nuts, fire some Bilsteins or adjustable konis in there. if going coil-over, modify for something decent, and rebuildable, avoid cheap coil-overs, not worth the hassle of the cert, for how long they last -
are you on Air Liquide ownership ?

am on Home D with BOC $180/PA with 1 free refill.......... which is a good thing when one forgets to turn the gas bottle off !!

Jack Hawkswood maybe ? , as he seemed a bit unimpressed with his new car, which is sister-car to McKenzies, i believe

we often had semi-seized pistons in the Falcons, especially the utes . maybe from burnouts or too many heavy loads rooting the prop. valve

burning PSU's out, as each heater draws 7-8A, plus have cycle pumps and lighting. 30A will be a decent starting point, may need 2 of them -

often the cat light will iluminate, so the wire needs to be grounded. sell cat to pay for str8pipe -
plenty of NZ new Y-series engines, see if you can find carb and manifold had 3Y in YN57 hilux ute, and was as cheap to run as my 5L diesil hilux, and 7AFE corolla i had the crappy emissions nonsense on an early incarnation of 3T silliness, and was a prick for miss/ carb icing, richening/leaning, so fitted NZ new carb manifold... too easy

to fix the CV style 2E corolla, i used factory downdraft manifold and a 4K carb with manual choke. worked a treat, but was tuoch and go to fit the auto-kickdown
-
it is all relative to what the tune is, and where you want the power to be. there is a good tech article floating around by Dave Vizard? that explians how and where changes are made. he did have a tuning programm that one could change parameters , and give baseline jetting for varous tunes
